An important initiative for local transport was started in Lower Austria on yesterday's day. High-ranking representatives, including ÖBB CEO Andreas Matthä and Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner, were present in the introduction of a new train set. This event, which took place in St. Pölten, is all about the growing need for capacities in public transport.

With a view to an upcoming record number of passengers in 2024, Matthä explained how important the new trains for the Eastern region are. About two thirds of local transport services are provided here, which is why the increase in capacities is particularly urgently required. "For many Lower Austrians, the railway is an indispensable means of transport," said Mikl-Leitner and was pleased that these new trains will significantly increase comfort for users.

The role of the new trains

The new trains represent a significant step towards a modern and user -friendly variants of local transport. They should not only increase capacity, but also improve the quality of travel. Both Matthä and Mikl-Leitner are convinced that the increase in comfort for passengers is of essential importance to promote the attractiveness of public transport.

The initiatives to improve local transport are particularly relevant because more and more people are switching to public transport in order to travel more environmentally friendly. The expression "local transport" often refers to transport within a certain region, normally in urban or suburban areas, and is directly related to the range of commuter services.

By introducing these new sets, one hopes not only to relieve the existing train systems, but also a positive development for the number of passengers. In the eastern region, in particular, where the demand for local transport performance increases steadily, such the course is essential for the future of transport.

ÖBB thus shows a clear sign that it takes the challenges of growing commuter traffic seriously. This is not only a profit for commuters, but also for the entire traffic system that must be able to withstand future requirements.
